Location and sediment texture information of surficial sediment samples collected within the New York Bight by the U.S. Geological Survey, 1995 - 1999 (Esri point shapefile, Geographic, WGS84)
A better understanding of sediment dynamics in coastal
areas can be attained by mapping the surface sediment
distribution and subsurface stratigraphy of the lower
shoreface and inner-continental shelf. In 1995, the U.S.
Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, began a program to produce geologic
maps of the sea floor throughout the New York Bight Apex
using high-resolution sidescan-sonar, subbottom profiling,
and sediment sampling techniques. The goals of the investigation
are to investigate the role that inner-shelf
morphology and geologic framework play in the evolution
of the coastal region.
